Everyone has very different ideas about what human rights abuses we're supposed to ignore and which ones we're supposed to be outraged by. Saudi Arabia is really bad and I wish we were actually openly hostile to them, and I mean that, but I think most of the posters talking about evil America enabling them here probably don't have much of a problem with the us normalizing relations with Iran, which has its God police sentence teenagers to be publicly strangled to death routinely. The naked subjectivity of Internet leftist outrage makes it lose all effect.

If we were openly hostile to KSA they'd still be doing this poo poo and half the posters here would just flip their positions, because now innocent people are suffering under the "unjust sanctions regime. "
